Only Natural

For the first time in seventeen years, Earthplace the Westport institution founded in 1958 to combine science, conservation and education held a benefit art show. Westport photographer Nancy Breakstone proposed and organized the show. She recruited nine other local artists to show their works, all inspired by nature. Buyers received a charitable tax deduction for 35 percent of their purchase price as a donation to the nonprofit Earthplace.
